NAME

       Test::BDD::Cucumber - Feature-complete Cucumber-style testing in Perl

VERSION

       version 0.86

SYNOPSIS

          # Driving tests using the 'pherkin' binary that comes with the distribution
          $ pherkin -l -b t/

          # Or choose a subset of tests to be run by selecting all scenarios tagged 'slow'
          $ pherkin -l -b --tags @slow t/

          # Or all those /not/ tagged 'slow'
          $ pherkin -l -b --tags ~@slow

          # Fail on missing steps (by default prints as orange output and succeeds tests)
          $ pherkin -l -b --strict t/

          # Driving tests using 'prove' integration
          $ prove --source Feature --ext=.feature examples/

          # Driving parallel tests using 'prove'
          $ prove -r --source Feature -j 9 --ext=.feature t/

DESCRIPTION

       Cucumber for Perl, integrated with Test2, Test::More and prove.

       The implementation supports the following Gherkin keywords in feature files: "Feature", "Scenario",
       "Scenario Outline", "Examples", "Given", "When", "Then", "And" and "But". Additionally, "Scenario" can be
       used as a synonym for "Scenario Outline" (with "Examples"). This best maps to Gherkin version 6.0.13
       <https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber/blob/master/gherkin/CHANGELOG.md#6013---2018-09-25>, but without
       support for its new "Rule" and "Example" keywords.

       This implementation supports the same languages as Gherkin 15.0.0 - that is, it supports exactly the same
       translated keywords.

       Behaviour of this module is similar to that, but sometimes different from the real Cucumber, the plan is
       to move use the same parser and behaviour.

GETTING STARTED

       This module comes with a few introductory tutorials.

       •   A Cucumber feature writing tutorial

           for those new to Cucumber and BDD testing

       •   A Step writing tutorial

           to get you started writing the code run for each "Given", "Then", "When" step

       •   A guide on integrating with your test suite

       •   An architecture overview

           for those who want to extend or hook into feature file execution

       •   Documentation of the command-line tool App::pherkin

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

       For        current        bugs,        check        the        issue        tracer       at       GitHub:
       <https://github.com/pherkin/test-bdd-cucumber-perl/issues>

       One thing need specific mentioning:

       •   Due to the use of its own parser, differences probably exist in the interpretation of  feature  files
           when comparing to Cucumber.

           Also  see  the  issue <https://github.com/pherkin/test-bdd-cucumber-perl/issues/73> for tracking this
           topic.
